Z problem ?

JohnYu · 02-03-2013, 12:03 PM

I just noticed that my Z is not shaking as bad as before when I drive 45 , especially when I drive in the highway over 45! it just shake , and I can't very easily control steeling as before I did ! And I can hear a lot of noise from the ground , even I drive in the good roads . Guys ! Do you think is there any problem with my Z ? Or I just over sensitive ? I pretty sure is was not like that ! I felf complete different when I drive mustang Gt !

It sounds like either a front rotor is badly warped from hard or riding the brakes or a wheel is loose, And since I have NO idea what mechanical if any skills you have? I'd suggest having the dealer look at it and determine whats wrong.

Warranty should cover this.

Good Luck

I would first check to see if the lug nuts were bolted on correctly (torqued to the right ft-lbs). I would also take the car to a tire shop, to make sure the wheels are balanced properly.

If all the above checks out, I would take it to a mechanic... either a dealership, or a shop you trust.

Wheel weight probably came off! Maybe you bent the wheels...?

If you're breaking and the car shakes, it's the rotors
